Data Collection Instructions

Inclusion Criteria

We will collect this for all cardiac surgery admissions with an Admit DtTm > July 3, 2023 00:00 who [[are from the Operating Room] or [had ECMO from other service]] and [who are admitted to CICU] under the surgeon.

• As per Dr Manji, only the first Euroscore II value should be collected. For patients that have subsequent surgeries during the same admission, record the first Euroscore II value, if it is available. If the initial surgery does not have a calculated Euroscore II value, but the second surgery does have a Euroscore II calculated value then use the second value.
• There may be the rare ECMO patient that may be cardiac surgery but not under the surgeon ... if there is a question, the database nurses can email Dr Manji and he can help clarify.

To help identify these patients as "cardiac surgery" patients, the current list of cardiac surgeons are as follows:

• Dr. Ghorpade,
• Dr. Raabe
• Dr. Luqman
• Dr. Hong
• Dr. Spooner
• Dr. Fagan
• Dr. Kandeel

Exceptions / Special cases / Exclusions

• non-cardiac surgery patients who are overflows to CICU are excluded.
  • e.g. ACCU or ICMS patients borrowing bed and service at ICCS.
• TAVI procedures are excluded

    • As pre Dr. Manji: "The plan at present is that the surgeons will calculate the Euroscore II (there is an online calculator) and put the Euroscore II value in the operative report in the EPR. The plan is to start doing this as of Monday July 3/23."
  • Checkbox: Check off if no Euroscore is recorded on the patient's chart
